We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

Further legitimization of the grift market

So we’ve got increasingly cruel policies targeting the unhoused, a eugenicist with quack beliefs on mental health running HHS, a burgeoning federal goon squad, and now…private equity backed psychiatric hospitals.

DC residents decided that public safety required restricting high speed police chases. 29 Democrats joined the Trump regime to say we don’t get to decide that for ourselves. Given the current federal efforts to commandeer law enforcement here, this is scary. rollcall.com/2025/09/17/h...

It is very easy to cancel your subscription on the Post’s website. Just click the person icon at the top right, and “manage or cancel” is right there. The FTC’s click-to-cancel rule was blocked by the courts this summer, so do it now before it gets redesigned to make it impossible.

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

Thank you @hankjohnson.house.gov and @blumenthal.senate.gov for re-introducing the #FAIRAct and continuing to stand with consumers, workers, and small businesses. Ending forced arbitration and restoring everyone’s freedom to choose where to bring claims is a more important mission than ever.

Washington DC: 42% Black Washington Post Opinion: Now 0% full-time Black columnists

The story of conservatism for the past 70 years or so is conservative establishment figures thinking they could temper the extremists in their movement by adopt some of their rhetoric and policies. But instead of that, they just wind up giving the radicals the car keys.

They want to turn DC into a far right police state. If you have congressional representation, please call your reps and tell them to fight hard against this.

Every story about crypto is a story about fraud.

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

DC showed up!

I am a fan of Wired, but it’s a screw up to not inquire who is funding this emerging “research.” Because when OpenAI and other tech cos are sued by victims of their dangerous and faulty LLMS and AI, I’m sure they’d love to get section 230 immunity by claiming the chatbot is a sentient third party

Judge Faruqui once complemented my artwork during a Zoom hearing, but I only have one speeding ticket from 22 years ago.

Why is this hearing going forward? Democrats should have walked out and said GOP is trying to protect a guy hellbent on killing your children.

We do not talk enough about how Bitcoin’s primary selling point is that it undermines state power. Its value goes up when faith in government declines, and vice versa. Anyone who owns it (or shares in this company) will be rooting for America’s downfall to profit.

This is incredible work. In a just world it would win some major reporting awards. I’m saying that now bc I don’t think it will. There’s a particular kind of scoop you only get by being a really effing good beat reporter for a long time who sources trust. Investigative reporting doesn’t prize that.

DC jury pool understood the assignment

Headlines like this really need to make clear whether this work was being done on federal lands and roads and those solely in DC’s control. The NG are mostly in the former, making the invasion even more insane.

Thank you Gov Pritzker. Now if only Democratic Party leadership were capable of saying these things.

Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.

It fills me with joy to see the administration stymied by the DC jury pool.

We are at the stage of fascism where they take control of the trains.

Add to this: - federal agents installed at metro stations, where they are conducting random ID checks - arresting people and hitting them with trumped-up charges -city-commissioned murals being removed

Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.

This won’t end well.

Murals bring color, life, and joy to urban spaces. So naturally we are not allowed to have them.

I love DC

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

Democratic leadership really needs to stop with the distraction nonsense. The military occupation of DC is inflicting actual fear and terror on this city.

The single best thing you will read about the military invasion of DC

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

This is bad

Give the DC sandwich man a prime time spot at the next Democratic National Convention

Six states are sending National Guard troops to DC

Distractions are what people do when they aren’t fulfilling their campaign promises. This was all in Project 2025! The GOP is delivering on their promised economic collapse, violence, grift, and the end of multicultural democracy. Democrats denying this truth are the ones engaged in distractions.

Republicans are driving DC towards economic collapse for sport. Restaurants were already hurting thanks to DOGE-inflicted economic insecurity.

The people who put up that sign and will replace it tomorrow did it without hiding their identity

The failure to meet the moment is a complete abdication of their responsibilities. Not to mention, there has never been a better opportunity for Democrats to make the case for DC statehood than right now. They are blowing it.

The shorter point here, totally available for any elected Democratic leader who cares to get in front of a camera or make a TikTok video, is that America's blue cities are uniformly safer than its violent, crime-ridden red states. Murder rates in blue states are small fractions of red states', etc.

This is bad for many, many reasons but when this makes its way to the US, car manufacturers will be using this to force consumers into arbitration, and avoid class action lawsuits over their defective cars.

So basically the Feds are now using red state resources to wage a full on civil war against blue cities.

And now Bondi has seized control of the police department in violation of the Home Rule Act

this is just straight-up dictatorship and it’s repulsive and pathetic our newspapers and TV stations still won’t say so. there is no emergency. there is no precedent for this in US history. Trump is establishing military and paramilitary control of the capital

In case people are wondering if DC is a full on fascist police state yet, note that the feds sent 20 officers to this man’s home to arrest him and they are seeking an 8 year prison sentence.

"The bill sets the stage for an entire class of speculative assets that have precisely zero underlying cash flows to be integrated into the financial system. All for the purposes of satisfying an industry whose main contribution to most Americans has been scamming them."

Basing such unprecedented action on the blatant lie that crime in D.C. is soaring underscores that our democracy is under assault. To write this off as a “distraction” misses the danger of the moment; the potential for unbridled deployment of the military for domestic policing.
